No. It was Bears vs. Patriots in 1985, Superbowl XX. Bears WON that one 46-10.

Lovie Smith is no Mike Ditka. Not even close.

I'm so sure that I would credit Mike Ditka with that year's success as much as that.

He had Buddy Ryan to create the toughest defense anyone saw that year, and the death of George Halas brought a change in General Manager. The Bears brought in a genius named Jim Finks who helped build the incredible Vikings teams. Finks helped to draft an all pro offensive line and some of the great defensive talent that won them the title.
